Thank you for your rental inquiry for Cayman Castle and/or the Guesthouse. These villas have provided families (including ours) with wonderful memories of crystal blue water, ocean breezes, sandy beaches, shooting stars, children chasing crabs at night and general relaxation. The hardest part will be leaving. 

Please remember you will be renting a private home.  I do have an on-island professional manager who you can call should something not work or you need help/advice. And, unlike a home you might rent from a travel agency; you will also have my work/home numbers as well.

Should you decide to rent Cayman Castle or the Guesthouse,  we can help you arrange many things for your vacation--from pre-stocking the house with groceries to hiring a private boat & captain for snorkeling or diving. I have many contacts for services and I send them all to my guests.

I have included some attachments that will help you. I also include my references and a sample lease, with deposit/cancellation policies and basic rental policies. Feel free to print them out, share this site with potential families who might join you, etc.

90% of all private villas are on the Northside/East End of the island, and 90% of all the condos and hotels are on 7 Mile Beach. You will quickly discover that the cruise ships, construction, commercialism and crowds of 7-Mile Beach will make your choice easier on where to stay. Of course you will visit Georgetown and 7 Mile Beach, but when you get home to the Castle, you will be glad you rented where we still have an "island feel".

I don’t block out weeks on my availability calendar until I receive a note or call that the signed lease/deposit is in the mail.  Should you want the lease; please send me an e-mail with a mailing address, daytime phone number, size/composition of group (ages above/below 18), and any special needs you have (high chair, crib, etc.). I will of course put a 72 hold courtesy hold on the places if you ask me to.

One caveat: I have my house listed with two travel agencies that have the right to “Instant Booking” on my calendar. If a (Sat. to Sat.) week is shown available, they can grab it. So if you get close to booking the week, and would be upset if it rented away...please call me so I can protect you for a day or so (see "72 hour hold" above)

Feel free to call me at 804-270-9077 with any additional questions you may have, but please look over the attachments first. They will help you with your Cayman vacation, whether you stay at my house or not.

If the Castle is not exactly what you are looking for-- Please know that I manage www.grandcaymanvillas.net for many of the owners on the island. I can write a lease of any of them. I provide a lot of information, maps, photographs, etc of the villas-- I can find something for you that does fit. I own three villas here and visit often--no travel agent will be able to describe each villas merits and demerits as well as I can--
